Today feels like an appropriate day to post this. Trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary people are valid. Everyone deserves safety, joy, and community.

Finishing the last few stitches on my new pattern, and of course my stitching helper was supervising the whole time! 🐈‍⬛🪡🧵 Crafting is always better with a cat on your lap! #CrossStitch #SafeSpaceCrossStitch #Cat

Confession time… who else has a stack of projects just waiting to be framed and hung? I finally gave this one a bit of love and added the burgundy ribbon to the hoop, so it’s officially ready for the wall! Tell me I’m not alone! How big is your ‘I’ll frame it soon’ pile? #CrossStitch #StitchSky

Everyone is welcome at Feline and Floss! If you’d like this pattern in your hoop, tap the link in my bio. #CrossStitch #SafeSpace

Which is your favourite?

Here’s a tiny behind-the-scenes peek at what my patterns look like. This is one I’m working on at the moment. I spend a lot of time editing, testing colours and making sure everything is clear and easy to follow. All the smallest details get fussed over before I’m happy with a design. #CrossStitch

I finally got round to framing this properly for my wall! This design is my anti-fascist pattern. It uses 6 colours, is instantly-downloadable from my Etsy shop, and is perfect for beginners or a quick stitch for more experienced cross stitchers. Tap the link in my bio for my shop. #CrossStitch

SEND HELP! I ran out of black thread! 😱 Where do you all buy your threads these days? I’d love to hear your favourite places - good value, reliable postage, or brilliant small businesses I should be supporting. #CrossStitch #DMCthreads #SmallBusiness

A sneak peek of me stitching this little friend today…! I’m excited to finish the pattern development and release it so you can stitch your own safe space too. #CrossStitch #CrossStitchPattern #DMCthreads #SafeSpace

We’re terribly classy around here, you know! Both patterns available in the Etsy shop. Do enjoy! #CrossStitch #CrossStitchPattern #SwearyCrossStitch

My teen tells me that the only way to get engagement on social media nowadays is to post rage-bait, so here goes… Backstitch is unnecessary and overrated. Come at me! #CrossStitch

Are you more ‘punk as duck’ or ‘for duck’s sake’ today? Which one sums up your week? 🦆 #CrossStitch #CrossStitchPattern

Went to The Cat House in Norwich today on a visit to see my beautiful daughter and her lovely boyfriend at uni. Didn’t manage to sneak this one home with us though, which was disappointing! #sphinxcat

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃 It’s my first Halloween in about twenty years without trick or treating; my eldest kids are at uni, and my youngest is helping out with visuals/media at a sports event. So it’s peace and quiet and a bit of stitching for me tonight! #HalloweenCrossStitch #CrossStitch #Halloween

…and here’s a pic of it stitched up! 💛🐥 #CrossStitchPattern #CrossStitch #DMCthreads #DuckOff

New pattern drop! This was a fun one to do, I enjoyed trying something different in more of a vintage style. I hope you all love her as much as I do! 💛🐥 Available here… felineandfloss.etsy.com #CrossStitch #CrossStitchPattern #DuckOff

This is the face of a cat who cost us £250 at the emergency vet because she tried to eat a spicy sky raisin and needed the stinger removing from her mouth. 🐝💸 Has she learnt anything from this? Stopped chasing sky raisins? Of course not.

I have cat bobbins!!! 🙀😻😸 I am very excited about this! 😂 #CrossStitch #CatCrossStitch #bobbins

I think my favourite motif in this pattern is the little snails 🐌 What do you think? www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1810846905/autumn-squirrel-sampler-cross-stitch #AutumnCrossStitch #CrossStitch #CrossStitchPattern #AutumnDecorations

Medway Pride yesterday with Charlotte and two of my offspring! (Pictured with the fabulous Lucie Lastic and Malachite Glorianna Arctic!) (And as it seems I can’t add music to pics here, go listen to GERM by Kate Nash!)

Our #HomeEd adventures took us to Folkestone today, where we spotted this enormous seagull! No chips were safe from him! If anyone fancies stitching a smaller gull, there are two #CrossStitch patterns available here… felineandfloss.etsy.com/listing/1846... felineandfloss.etsy.com/listing/1847...
